Anubis needs a buff badly

I think we all know why, but in case it isn't obvious, here we go:

He has NO escape meaning that anyone can gank and kill him, he doesn't even have a thing which increases his move speed or something, nor does he have a lot of hard CC (only his 2) to compensate for his lack of escape like Artemis.

He has 2 abilities which root himself in place, I could put a long list of what could happen to him, but let's keep restricted to the mid lane:

Hades ult
Agni combo
Vulcan ult and 3
Kukulkan 3 and ult
Change ult
Thoth ult
One of He Bo's 3 ults
Ra's 1 and ult
Ah Puches pretty much everything
Ullr combos (yes, he can be played in mid)

This could go on for much longer, but I hope you get the idea now.

His ult can be countered too easily (shield of thorns and aegis amulet, or just dash away).

He has ZERO abilities which help him sustain on the battlefield for longer.

His 2 can be juked easily, and if it is juked, Anubis is already pretty much dead.

Let's not forget that he has weak area damage as well, using the 1 is risky and 3 doesn't deal enough damage.

Oh and he's a squishy so gg.

almost all the ults in the game can be countered using shield of thorns or aegis.
you are saying that he has zero sustain even he has increased life steal so he pretty much impossible to poke
try to say that to a nox player. if you miss the combo with her she lose her clearing abilities and stay almost useless
zhong kui needs to put himself in front his target to be able to something
like almost all of the mages

Nox does not have clear at all
If you pull Nox vs janus, toth or the like, they are gonna outclear her as they hae half her cooldown on their mains.
Agni can clear the entire wave with 1 ability lvl 1 instant.

Ok, so if ur complaining about it, why not offer up suggestions?
What should they do to make these abilities balanced and not broken?
He has a high damage output. 1 and 3 don't do much damage? Have you actually played him before?
Build him right and play him right and he'll be top damage every single time.

Anubis is a nightmare when left unchecked, but faces the same counters as basically every immobile mage, such as Zeus, ah puch, etc.

lets be honest your jungle, support and solo have to be retarded to let that happen.

Also Anubis can be built half tanky. Warlocks + 1 def item or 2 def items with power (like void stone). Add his passive and lifesteal on that and he doesn't go down easily.

And other gods can do that but BETTER lol.

lifesteal takes time to build up, Also anti heal exists. You are comparing him to two other garbo mages one with ass clear and damage application limitations and the other screwed by itemisation problems. Another rarely mentioned fact is his really poor base defensive stats.

lifesteal is not that expensive. so you can go for it second item. and people usually buy anti heal late game. so you can sit under tower. and only rotate for team fights. and i use those mages as examples because they have more problems than anubis in the current state of the game. especially nox that need to be able to activate Siphon Darkness to explore early dealing reduce damage only to gods
